He has hit pavement at terminal velocity, thrown around by super-powered individuals, ragdolled by godlike beings and he just keeps getting back up. That being said, his skin isn't terribly resistant to bladed and piercing weapons. ► Super Agility -Peters agility, balance, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. Peter is extraordinarily limber, and his tendons and connective tissues are twice as elastic as the average human being is despite their physical strength. ► Super Regeneration -Spider-Man is able to rapidly heal and regenerate from harm faster and more extensively than normal humans are capable of. Broken bones heal within a day, abrasions gone in minutes, he even healed his mild Stigmatism. ► Spider-Senses -Peter possesses a precognitive danger or "spider" sense which warns him of potential or immediate danger by the means of a tingling sensation in the back of his skull, and links with his superhuman reflexes, enabling him to evade most any injuries unless he cognitively overrides it. S p e c t a c u l a r F a m i l y ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► Mary-Jane Parker -The girl next door, Mary-Jane Watson grew up with Peter and Harry, the three musketeers (Well, initially the two musketeers, she always had to be the Queen of Spain until she decided that the Queen would be a better Musketeer.) Always the independent and outspoken type, MJ takes what she wants, when she wants and after a stint living with her aunt after her father's alcoholism got too much, she decided she wanted Peter. "Face it, Tiger, you've just hit the jackpot!" were the words that heralded her back into his life. They dated, there was struggles, they broke up and got back together a few times, she found out his secret and stuck with him, but always maintained a strong relationship with Harry. They were married with Harry as her Maid of Honour (He came dressed as the Queen of Spain) Eventually, she gave birth to their daughter May Day Parker and the pair of them have been Peters rock and center of his universe ever since. ► May-Day Parker -Peter and Mary-Jane's daughter. She was born under not the best of circumstances, delivered by Otto during one of his money-making schemes that went wrong and he needed to take a hostage. It was a hell of a time trying to raise her as her Spider-Powers emerged at the age of 3. She is as powerful as her father and fearless as her mother. She is obsessed with the idea of becoming Spider-Woman and, much to her parents chagrin, constantly likes to sneak out to go web-swinging with her organic webspinners she was born with. ► Normie Allen -Normie is Harry Osborn's son and Peter's God Son. Born after Harry and Liz eloped, he was born very physically weak, barely able to walk, but like all Osborns, he was smart, VERY smart. He was happy though, he had parents who loved him, a roof over his head and most things he wanted within reason. But then his life started to go downhill, his mother died after a short battle with Cancer and then his father sacrficed himself to save his grandfather. As per Harry's will, Normie was put into Peter and Mary-Jane's Custody. He quickly became best friends with May-Day. The pair of them are now plotting their superhero careers, despite Peter and MJ's incistance they shouldn't. S p e c t a c u l a r A l l i e s ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► Otto Octavius "Doc Ock" -Otto Octavius was Peter's Mentor, he was absolutely obsessed with the idea of perfecting and helping humanity by any means necessary. He was the foremost authority on cybornetics, but an accident left 4 cybornetic tentacles to be completely welded to his own skeleton. Since nobody was willing to fund his experiments legally, he decided he would steal it. He battle Spider-Man on many occassions, but even when worst came to worst, he and Peter were always civil with each other. Now that Peter has founded Parker Industries, he needs a mad scientist to head up the Cybernetics division. ► Adrien Toomes "Vulture" -Adrien Toomes was onetime CEO of Toomes Aeronautics, Adrien's company fell on hard times and he resorted to use of a wingsuit to infiltrate and sabotage his rivals. Eventually, he was caught by Spider-Man and they began a longtime rivalry. Toomes was a genius in aeronautics technologies, but wasn't much of a businessman. Parker Industries, wanted to enter the Aeronautics industry and needed an expert. In order to help give Toomes that second chance that Peter thinks he needed to get out of a life of crime. ► Michael Morbius -Michael Morbius was Peter's old friend from his days at Empire State University. The pair were somewhat rivals under the tutelage of Otto Octavius, constantly vying for their mentors appreciation and respect, as well as the right to join him at those science dinners he was getting invited to. However, it as at one of these dinners that he was drawn away from Cybernetics towards Neogenics. After Otto went nuts, Peter lost contact with him. Turns out he had a degenerative neurological disease that was quickly killing him and he believed that Neogenics was the way out of it. He was half right. Michaels project resulted in him crossing his DNA with that of a Vampire Bat. Michael went on a blood-crazed binge through New York, but was finally brought out of his stupor by Spider-Man teaming up with Otto to bring him down. Unfortunately, they weren't able to fully cure him, but they were able to give him his sanity back. Michael has been fighting crime across New York by himself, going in and out of superhuman prisons. Now, his old rival has given him a job as the head of Neogenic research. ► Alistair Smythe "Spider-Slayer" -Alistair Smythe was born into the Smythe Foundation, a family of robotics experts. He was born lame and unable to walk, but his brilliant mind was cultivated to become the smartest of all of the Smythes. But when their attempts to cure him ran themselves into serious debt, they services out to the Maggia. They created a number of Spider-Slayer robots that gave Spider-Man a lot of trouble over the years. To get better results, the Maggia killed Alistairs father and framed Spider-Man. This worked for a time, making Alistair completely fixated on Spider-Mans death, but eventually, even the robots constant beat-downs on Spider-Man would no longer satiate him. He wanted to rip Spider-Man apart with his bare hands and as such, began researching into Neogenics. To get his revenge, he would mutate his body along with cybernetic upgrades to turn himself into a Spider-Slayer. Smythe went after Spider-Man and beat him bloody, but Spider-Man retreated and found the evidence that this was a Maggia plot. Smythe turned himself in and cut a deal with the authorities to testify against the Maggia, but afterwards, struggled with how to proceed in life as a cybornetic killing machine. He was eventually found by Peter and brought in to help with both the Neogenics and Cybornetics divisions. S p e c t a c u l a r F o e s ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► Norman Osborn "Green Goblin" -Father of Harry and grandfather of Normie, he is the CEO of Oscorp. Norman has been Spider-Man's nemesis since almost the beginning of his career. Originally a mild mannered, but ruthless businessman and scientist. He took a US Army contract to try and recreate Doctor Abraham Erskine's Super Soldier Syrum. The project was on the cusp of success for years and went completely overbudget. On the verge of having to declare Bankruptcy, he decided to test it on himself. At first, the formula worked he was super strong, super fast, superior to any other human, physically... But then the voices started... The voices in his head... They told him to do things. Awful things. This voice was The Goblin. As the Goblin, he began to attack his competators and had run-ins with Spider-Man. Norman would fight Spider-Man on and off for many years, eventually infecting Harry with the formula and making him another Goblin. However, Harry's goblin in his head was never fully in control. When Peter made a mistake, Norman capitalized on it and learned Peter's identity. When he told Harry, hoping to harness Harry's rage at Peter's secret, but actually had the exact opposite effect. Harry had just learned that his girlfriend was pregnant and this convinced him that if he stayed in New York, his son would grow up in a warzone between his father and best friend. Norman played the long game, going after Peter relentlessly in any legal way he could, as well as Spider-Man as the Green Goblin. Now, with Harry's sacrifice, the Goblin has been forced to retire... But Norman now has a new plan in order to ruin Peter and get his grandson back. He has eyes on the White House... ►Maxwell Dillon "Electro" -Of all of Spider-Man's foes, Max is without a doubt, the least complicated. He loves money. Fistfuls of dollars, bathtubs full of jewels. Max dreams of having a money bin he can dive into like Scrooge McDuck. This is his entire motivation, his reason for constantly pushing forward. Max is currently serving as Security for Parker Industries, but is actually on Norman's payroll, giving him whatever info he needs while working from the inside. Peter suspects this, but ultimately wants to give Max the benefit of the doubt, keeping him away from the most secure information. ►Mac Gargan "Scorpion" -Mac was the unfortunate victim of his own greed. Mac was originally a Private Investigator, hired by J Jonah Jameson in order to find out who Spider-Man was, but was thwarted at every turn. Eventually, he got so sick and tired of it that Jameson payed for him to become a test subject at in an Oscorp experiment. He was sealed in a hyper-powerful cybornetic battlesuit... The operative word of that being "Sealed" Mac wasn't told about that before agreeing. He went crazy and attempted to destroy Oscorp with Spider-Man coming to intervene. He and Spider-Man battled a lot over the years, with Scorpion mostly losing. He would rob banks and stores in an attempt to make enough money to pay people to cut him out of the battlesuit. When Norman first learned of Parker looking to hire his old villains with promises of helping them with their own problems, Norman made it a priority to get to Mac first, promising an out if he were to become his bodyguard on his campaign trail (With an off the books agreement that he'll throw in a chance to kill Spider-Man.)

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T ________________________________________________________________________________________ This version of events is about an older Spider-Man who has been through all of the trauma trying to deal with the loss of his best friend, the sudden adoption of a new foster-son, the incorporation of a multi-billion dollar company. There will be a few major ongoing stories, including: *Peter and Mary Jane trying to keep the spark in their romance alive while running said conglomerate *May-Day and Normie trying to become Superheroes while not getting caught by Peter and MJ *Peter pushing through the trauma of Harry's death right in front of him. *The former Villains that work for Peter trying to get along when most of them really do not like each other *Norman Osborn running for President of the United States of America in 2024. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ I want to explore the next phase of Spider-Man's story if his story was actually allowed to progress. Marvel has this idea in their minds that Spider-Man is only allowed to suffer and be an ignorant teenager. I want to show how he actually handles being a man with his own responisbilities and with a happy family, but obviously, Pete isn't done being lifes whipping boy just yet. His plight has just evolved and he has evolved with it. S A M P L E P O S T S A M P L E P O S T ________________________________________________________________________________________ This... This isn't happening... Spider-Man stood, bloody, bruised, but... Victorious... If you could call what he saw a victory. Green Goblin's purple tunic quickly turning red as the blood poured from the blades piercing his body, he let out a laugh as he looked into Spider-Man's eyes. He then collapsed, falling backwards and landing with a loud thud on the metal on the stone atop one of the pillons of the Brooklyn Bridge. His Spider-Senses weren't flaring, this wasn't a trick, this wasn't a joke, this was... Real... He slowly stumbled over to Goblin's body. "N... Norman..." He called. "Norman, speak to me..." He pulled his mask from his face, no quips, no energenic calls, no words of annoyance, Peter was as serious as anyone had ever heard him. "Norm... Don't..." He quickly rushed over and felt the pulse. He was Super-Powered, this might not kill him. "Norm, stay with me." He pulled the Goblins mask from his face and saw the Osborn family red and black striped hair... No... That hair wasn't red... And the face. "HARRY!!!!" Peter screamed. "HARRY WHY- WHAT- I DON'T- WHAT?!" Harry reached to a button on his wrist and pushed it, the gliders blades retreating and the glider fell atop him, the fins preventing it from crushing him at all, but now the blood flowed unimpeded "NO, HARRY, STOP, YOU'RE GONNA DIE!!!" He quickly pressed his hands across Harry's chest, but with 4 blades and only 2 hands, there was nothing he could do. "WHY!?!?!?!" He cried as tears streamed down his face. "HOW COULD YOU!?!?!" "How could i not?" Harry smiled as he coughed up a tremendous amount of blood. "The goblin... I could feel it... It was taking over..." "HOW COULD YOU? THINK OF NORMIE! THINK OF LIZ! THINK OF-" Harry grabbed Peter's collar with one hand and tried to push Peter's hands away, but he was so weak that he was completely unable to do so. "Liz is gone... Cancer... Normie... Deserves better..." "BUT WHY THIS? WHY THE GOBLIN, WHY THE-" "I couldn't save her, Pete... I couldn't save anyone... Anyone but..." "Norman..." Peter came to the sudden realization. "This... ALL OF THIS... Was to save Norman?" He asked. "Dad... Dad isn't evil... The Goblin is... But dad isn't... With this... The goblin dies... And i can be with Liz again..." At this point, he coughed hard as Peter punched his chest. "SELFISH BASTARD!!! WHAT ABOUT NORMIE! HE'S ALL ALONE NOW! HE'S..." It was happening again. This was the third person he loved that was dying in his arms... And the second that was taken directly because of Norman Osborn. "You're leaving me and MJ..." He then laughed "Who's gonna be our Queen of Spain now?" "Pete... I've only got minutes... Listen carefully..." He coughed as Peter crawled closer. **** 2 Days Later, Oscorp HQ, New York **** The door opened to Normans office as Peter slowly walked in. The door closed behind him. Peter took out a small keyfob and pressed a button on it. "Don't worry, Gobby... This is a little mic scrambler. Means that nothing we say can leave this room." Norman didn't say anything, he simply stared daggers at Peter. "Norman, i know we have been at each others throats for 20 years now... But the one thing we both shared was that we loved Harry. You as a son and me as a Brother... And neither of us wanted it to end like this..." Norman continued to say nothing. Peters Spider-Senses were slowly ticking over. Norman was a snake that could strike at any second, but he wanted to believe he wouldn't. "Norman... Say something..." "You killed my boy you wall crawling son of a bitch..." Norman spat. "And you killed my first love you pumpkin slinging piece of trash-" Pete managed to squeeze between Normans words. "And i will make you rue the day you did it." "Harry killed himself... For you. That Goblin in his head was starting to take over. He didn't trust himself around Normie anymore. He couldn't save Liz, but he saw a way to save you. The cops have always been looking around you. You being the Goblin was the worst kept secret in the world. But Harry has given you an out. He has taken the full rap of everything the Goblin has ever done. He gave his life to save your soul." "I don't want my soul, i want my SON!" He roared. "AND I WANT HIM TOO!!!" Peter bit back. "But... We find ourselves in this situation... One where our wants and needs are not what we can get. Harry has made a sacrifice and I will NOT let it be in vain. The Goblin is dead... Let your sons last act on this planet be of your redemption. My uncle once said to me that with great power comes great responsibility. You have been given the greatest of powers. The power of a second chance and you have the responsibility to see that you use it to its fullest extent." The room sat quiet for a few minutes. Norman sniffed loudly, before getting up and looking out of his large window. "Then the Goblin is dead... I will have to rededicate my life to... Raising my grandson." Peter slowly got up. "That's not going to happen either..." Norman slowly turned to Peter and Peter could swear his Spider-Senses were trying to leap out through his skull and run away from just the sheer entropic power of Normans Glare. Peter reached into his suits breast pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. "A copy of Harry's Last Will and Testiment. Signed and recognized by his lawyer the day before... It gives me custody of Normie." "What could you possibly offer Normie? I have a 100 BILLION dollar company! I have summer homes in the Algarve, i can pay for his medical bills, his education and still not even remotely make a DENT in my ability to support him. You can barely make ends meet with your daughter. How can you even HOPE to support Normie, no i'm going to fight this, i'm going to hire the BEST lawyers in the land and when i'm done with you, you'll be lucky to have your web spinners-" Peter put his hand up to motion silence. "Harry also left some things for us to take care of Normie with. Most notably... A controlling stake in Oscorp..." He put a piece of paper on the desk and slid it over. "Now, Oscorp is a publicly traded company and i can sell these shares to whoever i want, but i know you love Oscorp and i know Harry would never want me to jeopardize your company. As such, i'm offering the shares to you first. At current market value, his shares are equal to 34.82 Billion Dollars. That amount of clout guarantees you will control Oscorp for the rest of your natural life." Norman sneered with every word from Peter's lips "And you'll... What, frittle it away on some-" Peter interrupted him. "I plan to invest in a company of my own. And when Normie turns 18, he will be given an amount in that company equivalent to that. In shares or Money, whichever he requests. I will stay out of Oscorps way, no weapons or military contracts. No Pharmaceuticals in the same fields that Oscorp is working in. I would like very much to draw a line under our relationship and move forwards from here. In Harry's memory and for Normie's sake." Norman continued to stare daggers at him. But slowly reached over to his intercomm. "Felicia, I need the legal team to draft some papers on a stock purchase." He ordered. **** 8 Days Later, The Raft, New York **** "It is good to see you, my dear boy." Otto said, greeting his old student in his strong German accent. "Allow me to once again give my condolences on Harry's passing, you and him were always so close." "Thanks Otto." Peter replied, before patting him on the shoulder. Otto's 4 tentacles were completely inactive and dragging along the floor behind him as he walked over to the visitation desk. "Look, Otto, i have... Well, i have some clout now. A few friends in S.H.I.E.L.D. and some moolah to throw around in the pursuit of a dream i have." "Money and a dream? Now that is a VERY dangerous combination for a young genius such as yourself." Otto laughed. "Tell me all about it." "I can get you out of here and into the ground level of a project i am working on. With the right words here and there i can get your sentence commuted to Community Service in the most high-tech lab you have ever seen." Peter smiled. "Say no more. The Doctor is in!" Otto laughed as he shook hands with Peter. "Cue the montage" Peter smiled. **** 1 hour later, The Raft, New York **** "And give me one good reason i should take you up on this, Parker? Maybe if you give me your buddy Spider-Man, i'll consider it." Toomes replied to Peter's offer. "What is even your problem with him? It's not like you were innocent in the matter." Peter replied. "Even so, i hold grudges." Toomes smiled. "Well, is a grudge worth more to you than a leadership position with a brand new Aeronautics division at a multi-billion dollar conglomerate?" Pete snikered. "Keep talkin'..." Toomes replied. **** 6 hours later, Hells Kitchen, New York. **** "Neogenics is VERY dangerous." Morbius shook his head. "Look what it did to me." Peter looked Michael up and down. "It saved your life, if nothing else. And i believe it can be used to save other lives too. We might be able to even change you back." "A way out of the blood dependence... And a guarantee that my research will go EXACTLY where it needs to?" He asked. "I mean, i'm not running a charity, but so long as we are saving lives and keeping our bottom line good, complete and total autonomy. So, is it Morbin' time?" "I ALWAYS hated when you said that." Michael scowled, before grabbing Peter's hand and shaking it. **** 3 days later, Favela, Brazil **** Peter slowly walked through a rudimentary hospital in the shanty town as people waited in line. "I have an appointment with Dr Smythe" He said to the receptionist, who showed him through to the office where the 6'7 spike-covered man stood inspecting a small child. "-looking good, the swelling has gone down, just keep him on the antibiotics and i'll see him in a week." Alistair looked up and saw Peter walk in. "Excuse me, but you are?" Of course, Peter and Smythe had not really talked, he was more familiar with Spider-Man. "Peter Parker, i'm friends with Spider-Man, i used to take pictures of him." Smythe seemed to pretend to recognize him, but Peter could tell otherwise. "Ah yes, for the Bugle, well, what brings you to my part of the world?" He asked. Peter smiled, before handing him a business card. "I represent Parker Industries and i need a Neogenics expert." Smythe looked at it. "No thanks, i am wanted by FAR too many agencies in the US." He handed Peter back the card. Peter presented the card again. "I have some clout and so long as you are willing to work on the level and maybe play give some super-powered help to the Feds and we can definitely get you back into the country as a free man. I can even provide money to hire on some more doctors for this little clinic of yours?" Peter threw in. Smythe looked at the rusted walls of the shanty hospital, before reaching a hand over to Peter. Peter shook it. **** 1 day later, Brooklyn, New York **** "So what you're saying is that if i give myself up to the cops, then you'll pay for me a load of money?" Electro asked. Peter sighed with a palm on his face. "I will give you the opportunity to redeem yourself in the eyes of the public. To make Electro not just some two-bit criminal with a penchant for stealing, but a respected member of the New York elite." He watched Electro think for a second. "Yeah, that's nice and all, but there is money in it?" Electro reiterated. Peter handed him a piece of paper. Electro's eyes widened as his pupils started to glow with electricity "Is... Is that after Tax?" Peter laughed. This is why he knew that Max was definitely not beyond redemption. A simple man motivated by simple means such as large piles of cash. "Sure, buddy. But you gotta stay on the level." Peter slapped him on the back. "Oh definitely, you've got absolutely NOTHING to worry about." Peter felt a twinge from his Spider-Senses. Mex was lying... Maybe it was a mistake, but was it better to leave him as a definite threat, or maybe he could sway him over to the good side. **** 1 year later, Brooklyn, New York **** "When i was young, my uncle Ben used to tell me that with great power comes great responsibility. Well, i say that with great power comes a greater speed, storage and battery life." Peter smiled to the press circus in front of him. "Parker Industries is proud to announce the new Spyder Phone. Unbeatable performance, a crisp and clear display and all at a price that leaves some of our..." He laughed a little "Competitors... in the dust." He then picked up a small wrist-mounted device and attached it. "It also comes with something very near and dear to my heart. You see, my Aunt May suffered from a Heart Attack which killed her. If emergency services were able to get to her, she could have been saved. As such, this vitals monitor will come as standard with every device. You can set it to monitor vitals and it will automatically call emergency services in case it picks up irregularities. So far, it recognizes Heart Attacks, Strokes and Aerythmia's with regular updates that will add more monitors. And of course, if you're the picture of perfect health and don't want it? Simply bring it to your local Spyder provider to trade in for store credit. Parker Industries has come onto the scene for one reason and one reason alone. To provide quality products and life-changing technologies at a competative price. With this being the first in our Spyder products, we hope to provide you with more as we go forward."

And yes, i'm making no reference to Kingpin in this, in case someone wants him for Daredevil. But pretty much, a Spider-Man who is trying to raise a company and a family at the same time as he's grieving for the loss of his best friend. All the while, Norman is being his usual prick self.

S p e c t a c u l a r F a m i l y ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► Mary-Jane Parker -The girl next door, Mary-Jane Watson grew up with Peter and Harry, the three musketeers (Well, initially the two musketeers, she always had to be the Queen of Spain until she decided that the Queen would be a better Musketeer.) Always the independent and outspoken type, MJ takes what she wants, when she wants and after a stint living with her aunt after her father's alcoholism got too much, she decided she wanted Peter. "Face it, Tiger, you've just hit the jackpot!" were the words that heralded her back into his life. They dated, there was struggles, they broke up and got back together a few times, she found out his secret and stuck with him, but always maintained a strong relationship with Harry. They were married with Harry as her Maid of Honour (He came dressed as the Queen of Spain) Eventually, she gave birth to their daughter May Day Parker and the pair of them have been Peters rock and center of his universe ever since. ► May-Day Parker -Peter and Mary-Jane's daughter. She was born under not the best of circumstances, delivered by Otto during one of his money-making schemes that went wrong and he needed to take a hostage. It was a hell of a time trying to raise her as her Spider-Powers emerged at the age of 3. She is as powerful as her father and fearless as her mother. She is obsessed with the idea of becoming Spider-Woman and, much to her parents chagrin, constantly likes to sneak out to go web-swinging with her organic webspinners she was born with. ► Normie Allen -Normie is Harry Osborn's son and Peter's God Son. Born after Harry and Liz eloped, he was born very physically weak, barely able to walk, but like all Osborns, he was smart, VERY smart. He was happy though, he had parents who loved him, a roof over his head and most things he wanted within reason. But then his life started to go downhill, his mother died after a short battle with Cancer and then his father sacrficed himself to save his grandfather. As per Harry's will, Normie was put into Peter and Mary-Jane's Custody. He quickly became best friends with May-Day. The pair of them are now plotting their superhero careers, despite Peter and MJ's incistance they shouldn't. S p e c t a c u l a r A l l i e s ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► Otto Octavius "Doc Ock" -Otto Octavius was Peter's Mentor, he was absolutely obsessed with the idea of perfecting and helping humanity by any means necessary. He was the foremost authority on cybornetics, but an accident left 4 cybornetic tentacles to be completely welded to his own skeleton. Since nobody was willing to fund his experiments legally, he decided he would steal it. He battle Spider-Man on many occassions, but even when worst came to worst, he and Peter were always civil with each other. Now that Peter has founded Parker Industries, he needs a mad scientist to head up the Cybernetics division. ► Adrien Toomes "Vulture" -Adrien Toomes was onetime CEO of Toomes Aeronautics, Adrien's company fell on hard times and he resorted to use of a wingsuit to infiltrate and sabotage his rivals. Eventually, he was caught by Spider-Man and they began a longtime rivalry. Toomes was a genius in aeronautics technologies, but wasn't much of a businessman. Parker Industries, wanted to enter the Aeronautics industry and needed an expert. In order to help give Toomes that second chance that Peter thinks he needed to get out of a life of crime. ► Michael Morbius -Michael Morbius was Peter's old friend from his days at Empire State University. The pair were somewhat rivals under the tutelage of Otto Octavius, constantly vying for their mentors appreciation and respect, as well as the right to join him at those science dinners he was getting invited to. However, it as at one of these dinners that he was drawn away from Cybernetics towards Neogenics. After Otto went nuts, Peter lost contact with him. Turns out he had a degenerative neurological disease that was quickly killing him and he believed that Neogenics was the way out of it. He was half right. Michaels project resulted in him crossing his DNA with that of a Vampire Bat. Michael went on a blood-crazed binge through New York, but was finally brought out of his stupor by Spider-Man teaming up with Otto to bring him down. Unfortunately, they weren't able to fully cure him, but they were able to give him his sanity back. Michael has been fighting crime across New York by himself, going in and out of superhuman prisons. Now, his old rival has given him a job as the head of Neogenic research. ► Alistair Smythe "Spider-Slayer" -Alistair Smythe was born into the Smythe Foundation, a family of robotics experts. He was born lame and unable to walk, but his brilliant mind was cultivated to become the smartest of all of the Smythes. But when their attempts to cure him ran themselves into serious debt, they services out to the Maggia. They created a number of Spider-Slayer robots that gave Spider-Man a lot of trouble over the years. To get better results, the Maggia killed Alistairs father and framed Spider-Man. This worked for a time, making Alistair completely fixated on Spider-Mans death, but eventually, even the robots constant beat-downs on Spider-Man would no longer satiate him. He wanted to rip Spider-Man apart with his bare hands and as such, began researching into Neogenics. To get his revenge, he would mutate his body along with cybernetic upgrades to turn himself into a Spider-Slayer. Smythe went after Spider-Man and beat him bloody, but Spider-Man retreated and found the evidence that this was a Maggia plot. Smythe turned himself in and cut a deal with the authorities to testify against the Maggia, but afterwards, struggled with how to proceed in life as a cybornetic killing machine. He was eventually found by Peter and brought in to help with both the Neogenics and Cybornetics divisions. S p e c t a c u l a r F o e s ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ► Norman Osborn "Green Goblin" -Father of Harry and grandfather of Normie, he is the CEO of Oscorp. Norman has been Spider-Man's nemesis since almost the beginning of his career. Originally a mild mannered, but ruthless businessman and scientist. He took a US Army contract to try and recreate Doctor Abraham Erskine's Super Soldier Syrum. The project was on the cusp of success for years and went completely overbudget. On the verge of having to declare Bankruptcy, he decided to test it on himself. At first, the formula worked he was super strong, super fast, superior to any other human, physically... But then the voices started... The voices in his head... They told him to do things. Awful things. This voice was The Goblin. As the Goblin, he began to attack his competators and had run-ins with Spider-Man. Norman would fight Spider-Man on and off for many years, eventually infecting Harry with the formula and making him another Goblin. However, Harry's goblin in his head was never fully in control. When Peter made a mistake, Norman capitalized on it and learned Peter's identity. When he told Harry, hoping to harness Harry's rage at Peter's secret, but actually had the exact opposite effect. Harry had just learned that his girlfriend was pregnant and this convinced him that if he stayed in New York, his son would grow up in a warzone between his father and best friend. Norman played the long game, going after Peter relentlessly in any legal way he could, as well as Spider-Man as the Green Goblin. Now, with Harry's sacrifice, the Goblin has been forced to retire... But Norman now has a new plan in order to ruin Peter and get his grandson back. He has eyes on the White House... ►Maxwell Dillon "Electro" -Of all of Spider-Man's foes, Max is without a doubt, the least complicated. He loves money. Fistfuls of dollars, bathtubs full of jewels. Max dreams of having a money bin he can dive into like Scrooge McDuck. This is his entire motivation, his reason for constantly pushing forward. Max is currently serving as Security for Parker Industries, but is actually on Norman's payroll, giving him whatever info he needs while working from the inside. Peter suspects this, but ultimately wants to give Max the benefit of the doubt, keeping him away from the most secure information. ►Mac Gargan "Scorpion" -Mac was the unfortunate victim of his own greed. Mac was originally a Private Investigator, hired by J Jonah Jameson in order to find out who Spider-Man was, but was thwarted at every turn. Eventually, he got so sick and tired of it that Jameson payed for him to become a test subject at in an Oscorp experiment. He was sealed in a hyper-powerful cybornetic battlesuit... The operative word of that being "Sealed" Mac wasn't told about that before agreeing. He went crazy and attempted to destroy Oscorp with Spider-Man coming to intervene. He and Spider-Man battled a lot over the years, with Scorpion mostly losing. He would rob banks and stores in an attempt to make enough money to pay people to cut him out of the battlesuit. When Norman first learned of Parker looking to hire his old villains with promises of helping them with their own problems, Norman made it a priority to get to Mac first, promising an out if he were to become his bodyguard on his campaign trail (With an off the books agreement that he'll throw in a chance to kill Spider-Man.)

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T ________________________________________________________________________________________ This version of events is about an older Spider-Man who has been through all of the trauma trying to deal with the loss of his best friend, the sudden adoption of a new foster-son, the incorporation of a multi-billion dollar company. There will be a few major ongoing stories, including: *Peter and Mary Jane trying to keep the spark in their romance alive while running said conglomerate *May-Day and Normie trying to become Superheroes while not getting caught by Peter and MJ *Peter pushing through the trauma of Harry's death right in front of him. *The former Villains that work for Peter trying to get along when most of them really do not like each other *Norman Osborn running for President of the United States of America in 2024. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ I want to explore the next phase of Spider-Man's story if his story was actually allowed to progress. Marvel has this idea in their minds that Spider-Man is only allowed to suffer and be an ignorant teenager. I want to show how he actually handles being a man with his own responisbilities and with a happy family, but obviously, Pete isn't done being lifes whipping boy just yet. His plight has just evolved and he has evolved with it. S A M P L E P O S T S A M P L E P O S T ________________________________________________________________________________________ This... This isn't happening... Spider-Man stood, bloody, bruised, but... Victorious... If you could call what he saw a victory. Green Goblin's purple tunic quickly turning red as the blood poured from the blades piercing his body, he let out a laugh as he looked into Spider-Man's eyes. He then collapsed, falling backwards and landing with a loud thud on the metal on the stone atop one of the pillons of the Brooklyn Bridge. His Spider-Senses weren't flaring, this wasn't a trick, this wasn't a joke, this was... Real... He slowly stumbled over to Goblin's body. "N... Norman..." He called. "Norman, speak to me..." He pulled his mask from his face, no quips, no energenic calls, no words of annoyance, Peter was as serious as anyone had ever heard him. "Norm... Don't..." He quickly rushed over and felt the pulse. He was Super-Powered, this might not kill him. "Norm, stay with me." He pulled the Goblins mask from his face and saw the Osborn family red and black striped hair... No... That hair wasn't red... And the face. "HARRY!!!!" Peter screamed. "HARRY WHY- WHAT- I DON'T- WHAT?!" Harry reached to a button on his wrist and pushed it, the gliders blades retreating and the glider fell atop him, the fins preventing it from crushing him at all, but now the blood flowed unimpeded "NO, HARRY, STOP, YOU'RE GONNA DIE!!!" He quickly pressed his hands across Harry's chest, but with 4 blades and only 2 hands, there was nothing he could do. "WHY!?!?!?!" He cried as tears streamed down his face. "HOW COULD YOU!?!?!" "How could i not?" Harry smiled as he coughed up a tremendous amount of blood. "The goblin... I could feel it... It was taking over..." "HOW COULD YOU? THINK OF NORMIE! THINK OF LIZ! THINK OF-" Harry grabbed Peter's collar with one hand and tried to push Peter's hands away, but he was so weak that he was completely unable to do so. "Liz is gone... Cancer... Normie... Deserves better..." "BUT WHY THIS? WHY THE GOBLIN, WHY THE-" "I couldn't save her, Pete... I couldn't save anyone... Anyone but..." "Norman..." Peter came to the sudden realization. "This... ALL OF THIS... Was to save Norman?" He asked. "Dad... Dad isn't evil... The Goblin is... But dad isn't... With this... The goblin dies... And i can be with Liz again..." At this point, he coughed hard as Peter punched his chest. "SELFISH BASTARD!!! WHAT ABOUT NORMIE! HE'S ALL ALONE NOW! HE'S..." It was happening again. This was the third person he loved that was dying in his arms... And the second that was taken directly because of Norman Osborn. "You're leaving me and MJ..." He then laughed "Who's gonna be our Queen of Spain now?" "Pete... I've only got minutes... Listen carefully..." He coughed as Peter crawled closer. **** 2 Days Later, Oscorp HQ, New York **** The door opened to Normans office as Peter slowly walked in. The door closed behind him. Peter took out a small keyfob and pressed a button on it. "Don't worry, Gobby... This is a little mic scrambler. Means that nothing we say can leave this room." Norman didn't say anything, he simply stared daggers at Peter. "Norman, i know we have been at each others throats for 20 years now... But the one thing we both shared was that we loved Harry. You as a son and me as a Brother... And neither of us wanted it to end like this..." Norman continued to say nothing. Peters Spider-Senses were slowly ticking over. Norman was a snake that could strike at any second, but he wanted to believe he wouldn't. "Norman... Say something..." "You killed my boy you wall crawling son of a bitch..." Norman spat. "And you killed my first love you pumpkin slinging piece of trash-" Pete managed to squeeze between Normans words. "And i will make you rue the day you did it." "Harry killed himself... For you. That Goblin in his head was starting to take over. He didn't trust himself around Normie anymore. He couldn't save Liz, but he saw a way to save you. The cops have always been looking around you. You being the Goblin was the worst kept secret in the world. But Harry has given you an out. He has taken the full rap of everything the Goblin has ever done. He gave his life to save your soul." "I don't want my soul, i want my SON!" He roared. "AND I WANT HIM TOO!!!" Peter bit back. "But... We find ourselves in this situation... One where our wants and needs are not what we can get. Harry has made a sacrifice and I will NOT let it be in vain. The Goblin is dead... Let your sons last act on this planet be of your redemption. My uncle once said to me that with great power comes great responsibility. You have been given the greatest of powers. The power of a second chance and you have the responsibility to see that you use it to its fullest extent." The room sat quiet for a few minutes. Norman sniffed loudly, before getting up and looking out of his large window. "Then the Goblin is dead... I will have to rededicate my life to... Raising my grandson." Peter slowly got up. "That's not going to happen either..." Norman slowly turned to Peter and Peter could swear his Spider-Senses were trying to leap out through his skull and run away from just the sheer entropic power of Normans Glare. Peter reached into his suits breast pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. "A copy of Harry's Last Will and Testiment. Signed and recognized by his lawyer the day before... It gives me custody of Normie." "What could you possibly offer Normie? I have a 100 BILLION dollar company! I have summer homes in the Algarve, i can pay for his medical bills, his education and still not even remotely make a DENT in my ability to support him. You can barely make ends meet with your daughter. How can you even HOPE to support Normie, no i'm going to fight this, i'm going to hire the BEST lawyers in the land and when i'm done with you, you'll be lucky to have your web spinners-" Peter put his hand up to motion silence. "Harry also left some things for us to take care of Normie with. Most notably... A controlling stake in Oscorp..." He put a piece of paper on the desk and slid it over. "Now, Oscorp is a publicly traded company and i can sell these shares to whoever i want, but i know you love Oscorp and i know Harry would never want me to jeopardize your company. As such, i'm offering the shares to you first. At current market value, his shares are equal to 34.82 Billion Dollars. That amount of clout guarantees you will control Oscorp for the rest of your natural life." Norman sneered with every word from Peter's lips "And you'll... What, frittle it away on some-" Peter interrupted him. "I plan to invest in a company of my own. And when Normie turns 18, he will be given an amount in that company equivalent to that. In shares or Money, whichever he requests. I will stay out of Oscorps way, no weapons or military contracts. No Pharmaceuticals in the same fields that Oscorp is working in. I would like very much to draw a line under our relationship and move forwards from here. In Harry's memory and for Normie's sake." Norman continued to stare daggers at him. But slowly reached over to his intercomm. "Felicia, I need the legal team to draft some papers on a stock purchase." He ordered. **** 8 Days Later, The Raft, New York **** "It is good to see you, my dear boy." Otto said, greeting his old student in his strong German accent. "Allow me to once again give my condolences on Harry's passing, you and him were always so close." "Thanks Otto." Peter replied, before patting him on the shoulder. Otto's 4 tentacles were completely inactive and dragging along the floor behind him as he walked over to the visitation desk. "Look, Otto, i have... Well, i have some clout now. A few friends in S.H.I.E.L.D. and some moolah to throw around in the pursuit of a dream i have." "Money and a dream? Now that is a VERY dangerous combination for a young genius such as yourself." Otto laughed. "Tell me all about it." "I can get you out of here and into the ground level of a project i am working on. With the right words here and there i can get your sentence commuted to Community Service in the most high-tech lab you have ever seen." Peter smiled. "Say no more. The Doctor is in!" Otto laughed as he shook hands with Peter. "Cue the montage" Peter smiled. **** 1 hour later, The Raft, New York **** "And give me one good reason i should take you up on this, Parker? Maybe if you give me your buddy Spider-Man, i'll consider it." Toomes replied to Peter's offer. "What is even your problem with him? It's not like you were innocent in the matter." Peter replied. "Even so, i hold grudges." Toomes smiled. "Well, is a grudge worth more to you than a leadership position with a brand new Aeronautics division at a multi-billion dollar conglomerate?" Pete snikered. "Keep talkin'..." Toomes replied. **** 6 hours later, Hells Kitchen, New York. **** "Neogenics is VERY dangerous." Morbius shook his head. "Look what it did to me." Peter looked Michael up and down. "It saved your life, if nothing else. And i believe it can be used to save other lives too. We might be able to even change you back." "A way out of the blood dependence... And a guarantee that my research will go EXACTLY where it needs to?" He asked. "I mean, i'm not running a charity, but so long as we are saving lives and keeping our bottom line good, complete and total autonomy. So, is it Morbin' time?" "I ALWAYS hated when you said that." Michael scowled, before grabbing Peter's hand and shaking it. **** 3 days later, Favela, Brazil **** Peter slowly walked through a rudimentary hospital in the shanty town as people waited in line. "I have an appointment with Dr Smythe" He said to the receptionist, who showed him through to the office where the 6'7 spike-covered man stood inspecting a small child. "-looking good, the swelling has gone down, just keep him on the antibiotics and i'll see him in a week." Alistair looked up and saw Peter walk in. "Excuse me, but you are?" Of course, Peter and Smythe had not really talked, he was more familiar with Spider-Man. "Peter Parker, i'm friends with Spider-Man, i used to take pictures of him." Smythe seemed to pretend to recognize him, but Peter could tell otherwise. "Ah yes, for the Bugle, well, what brings you to my part of the world?" He asked. Peter smiled, before handing him a business card. "I represent Parker Industries and i need a Neogenics expert." Smythe looked at it. "No thanks, i am wanted by FAR too many agencies in the US." He handed Peter back the card. Peter presented the card again. "I have some clout and so long as you are willing to work on the level and maybe play give some super-powered help to the Feds and we can definitely get you back into the country as a free man. I can even provide money to hire on some more doctors for this little clinic of yours?" Peter threw in. Smythe looked at the rusted walls of the shanty hospital, before reaching a hand over to Peter. Peter shook it. **** 1 day later, Brooklyn, New York **** "So what you're saying is that if i give myself up to the cops, then you'll pay for me a load of money?" Electro asked. Peter sighed with a palm on his face. "I will give you the opportunity to redeem yourself in the eyes of the public. To make Electro not just some two-bit criminal with a penchant for stealing, but a respected member of the New York elite." He watched Electro think for a second. "Yeah, that's nice and all, but there is money in it?" Electro reiterated. Peter handed him a piece of paper. Electro's eyes widened as his pupils started to glow with electricity "Is... Is that after Tax?" Peter laughed. This is why he knew that Max was definitely not beyond redemption. A simple man motivated by simple means such as large piles of cash. "Sure, buddy. But you gotta stay on the level." Peter slapped him on the back. "Oh definitely, you've got absolutely NOTHING to worry about." Peter felt a twinge from his Spider-Senses. Mex was lying... Maybe it was a mistake, but was it better to leave him as a definite threat, or maybe he could sway him over to the good side. **** 1 year later, Brooklyn, New York **** "When i was young, my uncle Ben used to tell me that with great power comes great responsibility. Well, i say that with great power comes a greater speed, storage and battery life." Peter smiled to the press circus in front of him. "Parker Industries is proud to announce the new Spyder Phone. Unbeatable performance, a crisp and clear display and all at a price that leaves some of our..." He laughed a little "Competitors... in the dust." He then picked up a small wrist-mounted device and attached it. "It also comes with something very near and dear to my heart. You see, my Aunt May suffered from a Heart Attack which killed her. If emergency services were able to get to her, she could have been saved. As such, this vitals monitor will come as standard with every device. You can set it to monitor vitals and it will automatically call emergency services in case it picks up irregularities. So far, it recognizes Heart Attacks, Strokes and Aerythmia's with regular updates that will add more monitors. And of course, if you're the picture of perfect health and don't want it? Simply bring it to your local Spyder provider to trade in for store credit. Parker Industries has come onto the scene for one reason and one reason alone. To provide quality products and life-changing technologies at a competative price. With this being the first in our Spyder products, we hope to provide you with more as we go forward."
